Runway 2 Runway (R2R) Settings
The main view of the Runway 2 Runway settings manager is the Airport list where new airports can be added or modifications to previously added airports can be made. The Runway-to-Runway (RWY2RWY) Management is accessed within PPS via the icon shown below:
This function needs to be activated by PPS Support for each client.
If it is ’greyed out’ then the function is inactive.
If active then pressing this icon will launch the web based Settings site where you can provide SID/STAR preferences for takeoff/landing runways at given airports. For example, you can define the preferred landing runway and the actual SID procedure/s that you prefer to use.
This will assist in runway selection from TAFs.
